Title: Fire burnished golden ties
Summary: Dean and Pavarti finalised their marriage with the final rites of a Hindu marriage due to Pavarti's family being Hindu and are now seen as tied together as partners by invisible golden ties. One-shots related to Dean and Pavarti's married life will be added as inspiration strikes.
A/N: Star-crossed Lovers or not series [Snake and Eagle, I did not sleep with that wizard! and Rise of the Cannonites compatible.
I am trying to show Lavender growing beyond her flighty blonde, Divination and fashion-obsessed canon characterization. She doesn't not agree with Ron's homophobic views, mostly because Padma likes girls and Pavarti would be upset if Lavender was rude to her twin. Reveal of a genderfluid character and a request for Lavender and Pavarti to teach them about fashion and how to fem or androgynize their external gender presentation [how to dress fem or androgynous]. Character prefers gender neutral pronouns and the girls will try very hard to properly gender them. They may slip but its not to be mean/phobic, they'll get better.

Michael’s strange request

September 29, 1996

Despite being essentially in-laws, Pavarti was sure that Michael wasn’t close to Lavender at all and she barely knew the wizard from their shared classes.

So, it was a huge surprise when the wizard invited them for lunch but asked them if they could have Dean watch Parisa and Gwen.

Pavarti had warily asked Dean to watch their girls before leading her friend down to the fourth floor.

Despite Ginny never having slept there; Michael’s apartment was in the same corridor as Mal, Luna, Caterina and Colin’s.

Michael had given them excellent directions and was even waiting for them.

He let them in and then began pacing.

Finally, he broke the uneasy silence, “I um… was wondering if you could take a friend of mine shopping. They really need a new wardrobe and well, I was hoping I could trust the two of you.”

“Why us?” Pavarti frowned.

“One, because I thought Lavender needed this and two, because you both know more about fashion then I do.”

“Who are we supposed to help?” Lavender whispered.

“Please come down? You need the help and I don’t think they will tell anyone.” Michael called up the stairs.

Pavarti had heard that Michael’s housemate Terry Bott had moved in but this was unexpected.

“I don’t want you to be uncomfortable, I know you need this. Please, trust me?” Michael begged.

Terry glanced up at him and shyly nodded.

“Terry is genderfluid; this means sometimes ze’s fem, sometimes masc and other times somewhere in the middle. Ze isn’t ready to present publicly yet but they need to experiment and find what makes them comfortable. Please, will you help? I don’t want ze to hurt any more than they already do. I want my apartment to be a safe space for Terry to learn to be zirself…”

“You’re a really good friend, Michael…” Lavender said shyly, “Can we help Pavarti?”

“A whole wardrobe will be expensive…” Pavarti mused.

Michael summoned and handed her a large heavy bag of money, “That should be a start.”

“Are you sure it’s safe?” Terry asked quietly.

“How do you feel today?” Pavarti asked circling Terry who tried to hide behind Michael.

“More fem but a bit neither?” Terry admitted nervously.

“I can work with that, trust me?” Pavarti said toying with her wand.

Terry nodded closing his… sorry zir’s eyes.

Pavarti spelled them into blue skinny jeans, a silver peasant shirt with a peacock feather on a blue leather cord, grey boots and an indigo gauze with silver flecks that was worn like an open coat but was wouldn’t be too restricting. Their hair was lengthened then a charm and tied into a tail with a blue ribbon before a fedora appeared on their head.

Lavender pulled out a mirror and shyly held it out, “Do you like it?”

Terry seemed close to tears, “I look…”

“Adorable. I knew they would be helpful.” Michael pushed Terry towards the door, “Go have fun. You need this, Mishel and I will be fine.”

Lavender was happier than Pavarti had seen her in a while, she mouthed ‘thank you’ to Michael who just shook his head and echoed her soundless.

They flooed to Paris because that was the best and Lavender insisted.

As bonded persons, Pavarti and Lavender could leave school if they wanted.

Terry was a grey area but the way Pavarti had dressed him… err zir it was unlikely that anyone there would recognize zir anyway.

Because Terry mentioned feeling more fem, Lavender brought them to Celestine’s which was a three-floor wonder of fashion.

Their first stop was to get Terry a proper hairstyling, make-up advice and product recommendations.

Having longer hair might help Terry, even though not all witches likely longer hair. Millie Bulstrode kept her’s very short. It wasn’t as if wizards didn’t sometimes have long hair, just look at Lord Malfoy.

Lavender and Pavarti poured over the fashion magazines debating on what sort of styles they should pick out. Items that could be neutral like scarves, trousers and vests could be mixed with skirts, blouses and even dresses.

Terry was cute to begin with and had such light colouring that many colours with warmer hues should suit them.

They were served tea while they waited.

Terry asked quietly after Pavarti settled the bill, “Why didn’t they say anything?”

Lavender giggled, “Because you were being taken care of by Monsieur Henri himself. He is a very fem keeper, I heard when he was still considered a Seeker they called him the la rose de lion. He probably thought you were just like him… and no one says anything bad about someone Monsieur Henri approves of.”

“Keeper? Seeker?” Terry seemed very confused.

“A keeper would be a bent wizard who prefers to take a more submissive role, a keeper would be someone young and fem like you. Montague on the other hand would be very much as Chaser…” Lavender fanned herself.

Pavarti giggled at her.

“But I’m not really bent…” Terry protested weakly.

“You’re not exactly straight either, are you?” Lavender frowned.

“With my gender such a pendulum,” Terry said looking around half frightened.

“Then where you fall depends on where the pendulum is and who you like.” Pavarti asked.

Terry swallowed. “I suppose that’s as close as you get.”

“I think we need something special to go with your pendulum,” Lavender mused.

“Huh?”

“We’re straight, Padma is bent. Some people would be parallel because they aren’t really interested in a relationship with either.”

“Is that that strictly necessary? I mean can’t we just leave my sexuality out of the equation altogether?” Terry protested.

“Unless you already have a crush?”

“Why would I tell you that?” Terry stammered.

“You do! That’s adorable…”

“He… I mean they don’t know.”

“Listen,” Lavender giggled, “what happens in Paris on girls’ day stays in Paris. Right Pavarti?”

“Really?”

“Like Michael can help with fashion, he practically begged us. Besides, fem Terry needs girlfriends sometimes.” Lavender smiled sadly, “I don’t know what I would do without Pavarti…”

“I will make sure that never has to be discussed. Now, I think we should start here.” Pavarti said tapping the map.

Terry eeped.

Lavender sighed, “Terry, there is nothing to be ashamed of. No one has to see them. You’re living with Michael, just lock the bathroom door. There are two of them anyway.”

“But what about during class?”

“Use a stall silly.” Pavarti said poking zir cheek. “whether you prefer pants or knickers is a private matter. It’s like brassieres, girls… or fem persons come in all shapes and sizes. Lav can wear any brassier under the sun but I’m more of a plunge. I only look large because of my cleavage.”

“For neutral fem days, why not a bra meant for a quidditch player but small? You can have boyshorts, they are sort of a compromise between masc and fem knickers. On neutral masc and masc days you can just have a free chest.” Lavender said as she helped lead the still nervous Terry into the lingerie section of Celestine’s.

“Oh, ze is small up top so maybe bralettes or demi?” Pavarti said as they waved off assistance.

Best not to overwhelm Terry…

“Maybe sets just to start so ze doesn’t have to match much?”

“Sounds about right.” Pavarti nodded thoughtfully.

Lavender cast a measuring charm on their ‘client’. “Hm…”

Before Terry knew what was going on, they had armfuls of brassier and frilly kickers as well as more subdued knickers.

Terry was spelled into the knickers most like a bloke’s once the three of them were inside a dressing room. Ze seemed embarrassed…

Lavender poked zir cheek, “It’s just us girls, besides we can’t help if we can’t see and you’re not ready to flaunt what you got just yet. What happens here is between us…”

“No boys?”

“Nope, Dean and Michael are left out. They get to mind the babies like good papas.” Pavarti promised.

Terry shivers slightly as they tried different brassier styles finally settling on a few with Pavarti digging out the ones that were similar and placed them in a floating shopping basket that appeared when she snapped her fingers.

“I didn’t change your knickers when I dressed you earlier. Do you want neutral fem or just fem…” Pavarti asked gently.

Terry pointed at the lacey white brassier that Lavender call a bralette but had a shirt like quality and matching ‘boyshorts’.

“You want to try putting them on or should I spell them on?”

“What about…” Terry nervously gestured towards zir groin.

“If you had to choose where you swing most would it be masc or fem?”

“Now… fem? Inside but not outside.”

“Alright, how about we call it your pearl? They come in different shapes anyway, now if you could leave the apartment fem, would you?”

“I’d like to try?” Terry said wringing zir hands.

“Alright,” Pavarti just spelled them into the under things as well as the clothes from before, “if we offered our uniforms from last year and made them fit would you like them?”

Terry looked close to tears, “Really?”

“Just order some Ravenclaw scarves, you already have the robes.” Pavarti shrugged. “After having Parisa and Gwen, they aren’t going to fit anyway. An auto-sizing charm should slim it to felt better. They can’t get bigger…”

“Let’s go find some clothes to try on.”

“Lavender picked out some fem night gowns, some more risqué than others, as well as camisoles and slips for layering as well as some shaper garments in Terry’s size when they wanted a more fem-like appearance.

Pavarti added different sized inserts that less endowed fems used to improve their chests.

Socks and stockings were added to the basket that seem to have a never-ending charm.

They picked through the trousers after finding out Terry’s size picking out androgynous as well as fem styles letting Terry nix colours if he disliked them.

Tops and dresses were next along with skirts, given Terry’s comment about feeling fem most often they weren’t surprised that most of Terry’s clothes were fem.

Their next stop was jewellery and other accessories before popping to a cobbler where Terry practically bought every boot ze could find in zir size from ankle to knee as well as wedge sandals in a variety of colours…

They picked up a few masc things like trousers and vests, that Terry didn’t have but this trip was more to fill out zir wardrobe so they could see what was comfortable on any given day no matter when ze fell on the pendulum of their gender.

Once they finished and the last of the shopping was done, for today anyway; Terry seemed lighter and more open.

“I really did have fun…” Lavender admitted shyly.

“Me too…” Terry blushed.

“Girlfriends?”

Terry messed with zir bangs, “Um… sure?”

“You can let us know when you need fem time. We’ll come over anytime, unless you want to visit and that’s fine too.” Pavarti assured him.

“We can always use my empty apartment for girls’ nights,” Lavender offered. “It might be fun, no babies and no wizards to take care of…”

“I’ll think about it…” Terry whispered.

“No rush, play with everything. Mix things up in your wardrobe, practice using your make-up. I even know a few charms to give yourself temporary colour streaks.” Lavender said patting zir shoulder.

The two best friends escorted Terry back to Michael’s apartment on the floor below their own. Kissing zir cheek and promising that they would keep ze’s secret as well as offering to take ze out whenever they were ready.

Terry was half in shock when they watched ze enter the apartment that ze shared with Michael.

Pavarti was pleased to see a bit of Lavender’s old spark but it wasn’t likely to last…

The more often they could indulge Terry’s fem side and give zir tips on how to be more fem when they wanted, the better it might be for the both of them…

Pavarti really just wanted everyone to be as happy as she was even if it was unrealistic…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
